eastern  portion  is  f^ve  stories  high  and  the  western  four  stories 
this  difference  being  occasioned  bv  the  uneven  lav  of  the  rock 
on  which  it  is  built.  From  the  centre  <.f  the  main  part,  a  wing

seek  in  going  from  city  to  countrv.  and  everv  facilit-  will  be

modated  with  desirable  su.tes  of  rooms  at  reasonable  prices,  wiTh 
private  dining-rooms  if  desired. 

BoA.i^s  AND  Boa-ting. 

Thesplendid  boats  of  Ale.xandria  IJay  have  won  an  extended 
reputation.  They  are  beautiful  craft,  and  it  is  not  onlv  deU.M. 
lui  to  row  among  the    island,  and    upon   the   smooth    waters'of 


ti      bay,  bill  it  is.  as  every  one  knows,  a  most  liealtlifiil  exercise. 
(TUc;,l^  of  the  Thou^am.    Im.and   IIousk  will   find   at  their  dis- 


«r  ..;.;. -::..tr 


posal  tliis  season  more  than  three  hundred  boats,  and  carefnl 
and  experienced  boatmen  can  always  be  engaged  at  from  two  to 
three  dollars  a  day. 

SPOI^rpiUG. 

We  must  not  omit  to  mention  the  entertainment  to  be  found 
hc-re,  which  is  much  like  the  Chinaman's  national  beverage  in 
that  it  cheers  but  does  not  inebriate;  give-  that  healthful  rest 
which  never  comes  so  surely  from  entire  physical  inactivity  as 
trom  change  of  scene  and  laying  aside  the  routine  of  daily 
occupation  for  something  that  interests  while  it  does  not  ex- 
haust from  excessive  mental  strain. 

In  front  of  the  hotel  the  boatmen  are  busy  with  their  boats 
stowing  away  all  of  the  concomitants  of  a  day's  fishing,  accord- 
ing to  the  ethics  of  the  region.  Each  boat  contains  two  besides 
the  oarsman.  Early  breakfasts  are  in  order  for  those  who  are 
going  ti^hmg.      Let  us  make  read^•  '"or  the  day's  s])ort  !

Taken  altogether  the  St.  Lawrence  boatman  is  a  good  fellow. 
being  temperate,  honest  and  capable,  full  of  dry  wit,  and  a  fund 
ot  amphibious  experience  worth  the  hearing.  lie  thinks  foi- 
himself,  and  clings  to  the  tradition  of  lii.>  calling  with  proud 
tenacity. 

There  is  mjlhing  of  the  hackman  about  him.  He  l;as  a

he  knows  it.

The  i;i  -at  inihix  of  people  from  all 
directioiis  and  the  immense  popularity 
of  tlie  Thousand  Island  region  ,-f  the 
St.  Lawrence  River,  together  with  the 
fact  that  Alexandria  Bay  is  the  loveliest 


river  resort   m   the  w(^r 


Id,  h, 


ive   been  in- 


strumental in  bringing  aoout  a  new 
system  of  train  service  from  the  principal  centres  in  the 
east  and  west. 

The  Rome,  Watertown  &  Ogdensburg  Railroad  Company 
recognizing  the  fact  that  to  take  care  of  the  enormous  business 
already  in  existence,  and  to  create  new  business,  it  was  necessary 
to  inaugurate  a  fast  train  service,  has  introd-"ed  limited  trains 
to  the  Thousand  Islands,  as  follows: 


From    New  York  City   in   conjunction   with    the  N. 


vv 


or 


k 


Central  &  Hudson  River  Railroad,  a  fast  train  leaves  the  Grand 
Central  Depot  every  night  at  6.30.  This  train  has  elegant 
dining-cars  attached,  and  the  meals  served  therein  are  equal  to 
those  found  in  the  best  restaurants  in  the  city.  Dinner  is  l  ,rved 
immediately  after  leaving  Grand  Central  Depot.  The  train  only 
makes  six  stops  between  New  York  and  Clayton — distance,  336 
miles — being  run  '^xpressly  for  the  Thousand  Island  travel.     It 


85 


reaches  Cliivton  every  day   at    5.15   a  ni.   and  Alexandria  Hay  at 


a.  111. 


and 


l)asseii^frs  are   landed    in    iixui  <,(  the  Tiiof-AND 


IsLWi)   IIo.si..  reaehiiie  the  lioicl  in  time  for  Ijieakfast. 
Retuininir,    this   fast    train    leaves   Alexandria    P.av  f 


n>ni  the 


Ilk  near  the  Tikh'sam)  Island  iIoi;sK,,  by  steu 


mcr  at  ^.25  p.m. 


Al  Clayton,  u  miles  illstant,  th.-  fast  train  with  elcjr.,nt  Wai^ner 
sleeping    ears,   is    waiting,    and    soon    after    th<'    arrival     of  the 


steamer  at  Clayton,  the  train  leaves  that  point  tor  XeA'  York 
with  ve'v  few  stops,  arriving  at  the  Grand  Central  Depot  at 
7  a.m.,  in  time  for  breakfast. 

This  train  is  run  expressly  for  the  benefit  of  tourists,  and  the 
excellent  facilities  afforded,  together  with  the  fast  time  and 
avoidance  of  stops,  is  greatly  appreciated.  Ancjther  good  feature 


•M 


is  the  fact,  tha'  the  train  runs  every   day  in  each  direction,  and 
also  carries  the  last  mails  t  >  and  trom  the  City  ut    New  V<;rk. 

This  •  aiii  {masses  Albany  at  10.40  ji.m.,  connecting;  at  that 
point  vviili  the  train  leavic.^  IJoston  at  ,^  p.m.  via  the  Boston  ^: 
Albany  Railroad,  and  passini;  Worcester  at  S  .' ;  p.m.  and 
Springfieirl  at  '0.05  p.m..  and  bringing  people  from  all  points  in 
N  _vv  Knghmd. 

Tile  train  service  froi  >  tlir  West  is  ecpially  good.  The  fast 
train  which  is  known  as  i.m-  Si.  Lawrence  Steamboat  [express, 
the  tourist's  favorite  train,  leaves  N'iagaia  Falls  every  day  at 
8.10  p.m..  Suspension  iJridge  at  S.;,o  p.m.  and  Roi  hester  at  ri 
p.m.,  with  elegant  through  sleeping-cars  tor  Clayton.  This  train 
makes  immediate  connection  at  Niagara  I'alls  with  trains  for 
Chicago,  St.  Louis,  Toledo,  Cincinnati,  Detroit  and  all  Western 
cities.  It  atY(jrds  passengers  a  splendid  view  of  Niagara  Falls 
and  the  wild  romantic  scenery  of  the  Niagara  River  in  tlu- 
vicinity  of  Lewiston  ;  thence  runs  along  the  south  shore  01 
Lake  Ontario,  making  only  five  st(  [)s  for  a  flistance  of  250  miles 
to  Clayton,  which  is  reached  c.t  5.45  a.m.  Passengers  arrive  ai 
Alexandria  Bay  6.55  a.m..  in  time  for  breakfast. 

Westbound,  this  train  leaves  Alexandria  Bay  by  steamer  in 
the  evening  about  9  o'clock  and  arrives  at  Suspeiision  Bridge 
the  next  morning  at  !o.;^o.  Niagara  Falis,  10.40  a.m.,  making 
immediate  connections  for  al'  Western  cities. 

The  day  train  service  is  equally  good.  Fast  trains  avoiding 
5tops  and  carrying  through  drawing-room  cars  to  Clayton  are 
run  from  Niagara  Falls,  Rochester,  Syracuse,  L'tica,  New  York 
and  Albany.  Passengers  leaving  Saratoga  or  Richfield  Springs 
in  the  morning  arrive  at  Alexandria  Bay  early  in  the  afternoon. 
The  Rome,  Watertown  &  Ogdensburg  Railroad  publish  a 
beautiful  book  of  160  pages,  large  octavo  size,  containing  eleven 
valuable  maps  and  over  100  fine  illustrations.  This  book  is 
mailed  free  upon  receipt  of  ten  (10)  cents  postage  to  any 
address.     Visitors  to  the  St.  Lawrence  River,  will  find  this  book

The  elegant  steamer  "St.  Laurence"  makes  four  round  trips 
daily  between  Alexaridria  Lav  and  Clayton,  connecting  at  the 
latter  point  with  all  trains  oi  the  K.,  W.  ^^  ().  R.R.  from  all

WINDSOR  IIOTKL 


2^03^T:KE:.i^x 


TIll*^  •■Windsor"  is  unanimously  classed  by  its  patmns  and  the  public 
in  general  as  unquestionably  e  finest  bote'  in  (.anada.  and  equal 
in  evirv  respect  to  tbe  trost  palatial  hotels  in  the  United  htatcr; 
possessing  a  most  beautiful  and  airy  site,  ami  situated  on  one  o 
the  finest  avenues,  and  s-iuares,  it  commands  deliKbtful  views  and 
easy  access  to  the  interesiin^  historical  portions  of  lue  city.  Mount 
Roval  with  its  beautiful  park,  unrivaled  for  beauty  of  scenery,  rises  in 
dose  proximitv.   and   its   lovelv  drives  are  within  easy   walking  distance. 

The  sanitary  condition  of  the  hotel  has  been  entirely  renewed,  and 
regularly  inspected  bv  the  Sanitary  Inspector  of  the  city. 

The  manairement  has  undergone  i  complete  change  and  Mr.  Geo.  VV  .  Swett. 
long  and  favorably  known  as  a  former  manager  of  the  house,  has  once  more 
undertaken    the    management.  r    .u- 

Pleasure  travel  to  Montrt;al  in  winter  <lales  from  the  opening  of  the 
Windsor  Hotel.  The  famous  Carnivals  have  drawn  universal  attention  to  the 
advantages  of  Montreal  as  a  winter  resort.  Us  weather  is  clear  and  steady, 
and  affords  opportunity  for  a  round  of  healthful  sports,  unequaled  in  the  world, 
The  ti.ie  of  travel  during  the  winter  season  increases  year  by  year,  and  tinds 
the  Windsor  the  centre  of  aitra-.tion.  Beside  it  the  Ice  Palace  is  reared,  and  in 
its  immediate  vicinity  are  the  principal  rinks,  toboggan  hills,  and  c,u»  houses 
and  within  one  minute's  walk  are  the  new  depots  of  the  Grand  Trunk  and 
Canaeiian  Pacific   Railways.
